A median is only defined on ordered one-dimensional data, and is independent of any distance metric.
That record is likely never to be broken because, except for the mile, all world records must be set at metric distances.
Hearing the announcement in metric distances, Beamon did not know the significance of his feat.
Similarity learning, for other approaches to learn a distance metric from examples.
Several of his Newfoundland records were never broken prior to the switch to metric distances and as a result, still stand.
The computation of the distance metric in the original approach employs a base-2 logarithm.
Elsewhere, metric distances are in very wide use, though not universal.
From January 1973 all races were run at metric distances rather than imperial.
High school competition shifted to metric distances in 1980, so the race is now rarely contested.
The proposed implementation leads to a distance metric that exactly determines similarity length between sequences.
